Mansion Poker Software
Mansion Poker's software is decent, but, like all OnGame Network sites, it is memory intensive and those players running it on Windows may experience bugs if they are running on small amounts of memory.
Players can utilize a download and non-download version of Mansion Poker's software, as well as the ability to play through a cell phone. Mansion Poker and OnGame is also one of the few pokersites that supports Macintosh and Linux users.
Mansion Poker's table graphics consists of Mansion's light tan felt, brown leather trim table and crimson-backed cards. Players cannot change the card back colors, although they may change the deck into 4-color mode as well as in larger format numbers. The background consists of tan leather chairs and a crimson background. Players are given the opportunity to turn the avatars on and off. It's player notes feature, which can be tailored to suit your needs, is color-coded. A large text-box gives ample room for player notes. It also has one of the best on-table stat pages in the industry. Players may access the hand history function from the table.
Main menu items are easily navigable with the ability to switch between ring games and tournaments. The ring game menus provide players seeing the flop, average pot size and average hands per hour, on a table per table basis. Tournament information isn't as user friendly, however. Most of the in-game tournament information like which players are still playing, average stack sizes and tournament payouts are all web-site driven sub-routines which do not auto-update. This makes it difficult to track one's progress while actively paying attention to the tournament itself.
Players need to sit out of their table in order to access the cashiering services to the table. This can lead to missed hands and a failure to reload prior to the next dealt hand. Sitting out, while there is a waiting list at a table, can see a player taken off the table and his seat given to a player on the waiting list.
Overall, Mansion Poker software is decent and user-friendly.

Piscivorous Discretionary Poker Room Bonus Rating
Mansion Poker's move to the OnGame Poker Network is a great deal for both them and the network.
OnGame players will welcome the added tournaments, players and bonuses that Mansion Poker brings to their network. Indeed, the big three tournaments that Mansion is famous for, the $150,000, $110,000 and $50,000 weekly MTTs will add more value to the already deep OnGame tournament scene.
Mansion Poker's bonus is huge and can be cleared, but only if it is solely concentrated on or at the higher stakes. The beauty of the bonus is that, unlike other OnGame sites, it pays out in increments, meaning that players will always be getting some value for their efforts, even if they don't clear the whole bonus. Mansion also has a casino bonus which runs separate from the poker bonus.
